room building, all of the rooms being
occupied. This school is now the third
in the number of pupils admitted. The
number of pupils admitted to this school
is so large, that were it not for the OPEN
ing Of the U. S. Grant school appre-
bend that the Cleveland school would
again, very soon, be in crowded con-
ditiOn.
l think it will be advisable to fix be-
fore long the boundaries of the Grant
school, in order that it may be known
what teaching force will be required in
that school.
The German school addition is nearly
ready, and it is quite certain that this
addition can be opened at no later date
than Monday, Nov. Ia.
II think it would be wise plan to rent
"a building at Merriam Park to form an
annex to the LOngfellOw school, as the
lcrowded condition of that school rem
rderS it impossible to do justice to the
pupils in attendance.
h This increase in the enrolment in the
/ schQols of this city is not confined to
any one locality, but extends to all the
schools of the city, and shows that the
FACTION of your honorable body in prOvid-
Z ing additional school privileges was a
necessity.
r L cannot send this report without
Ii speaking of the death of Mrs. M. E..
EJenness, who, since the formation of
ITthe Training school, had charge of the
|. same till nearly the close of the last
school year. Her character as teacher,
her fidelity to her chosen profession,
her enthusiasm in her work, are worthy
of imitation by all who are teachers Of
the young.
The impress of her mind and heart is
seen in those whom she instructed. Her
naturalneSS as a teacher was constantly
shown in the character of her mStruc-
tions. We mourn that bright light has
gone out, but we believe most fully that
''her works will live after her." Re
